3.SYMBOLOGIES

Many bar code symbologies have been developed to suit many data capture applications in different domains (retail, industry, medical, transport…) requiring simple or complete sets of characters (numeric, alphanumeric, full ASCII set…) with various density performances.

Each symbology has options which must be carefully checked and adjusted by the user.

Some samples are printed in appendix 6.12, page 82.

The default configuration of the IS1000 permits the reading of only six bar code symbologies appearing on the next left hand page.

Other symbologies can be selected on the next right hand page by using the following sequence:

Read the code Start of Configuration

bottom left of each page

Read the code New Selection

Select the new group of bar code

symbologies desired

Adjust the options of each bar code

symbology desired

Read the code End of Configuration

bottom right of each page

To fully optimize the decoding reliability, it is advised to select only the symbology(ies) required for your application.

In addition, a function called Decoding Selectivity (see page 45) will perform several data collections and decodings with comparisons before transmission.
